Camp Overview
The MIT Youth Rowing Camp offers your choice of two
one-week day camps for high-school-age rowers, emphasizing sculling
skills. Sculling is a lifetime sport and a valuable skill for
all rowers, especially those who hope to row in college.
Teaching methods will include on-the-water coaching, video review,
and tank demonstrations, with a high coach-to-athlete ratio to
ensure that all campers receive lots of individual
attention.
Who Can Attend
The camps are open to boys and girls age 13-18 of all
skill levels. Sweep rowers who are looking to improve their
boat skills are encouraged to attend.

The camps take place at MIT’s Pierce Boathouse,
on the Charles River at 409 Memorial Drive in Cambridge. Click Here for
